WASHINGTON, April 3 (Reuters) - The Federal Communications Commission said Friday it is considering banning the import of Chinese equipment from a group of manufacturers after previously barring approvals of new models in 2022.
The FCC in 2021 added telecommunications and video surveillance equipment produced by Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision and Dahua to its so-called "Covered List".
Then, in November 2022 it said it would not authorize the import or sale of new models from those Chinese companies. The FCC said on Friday it was seeking comment on whether to bar the continued importation of equipment from the listed Chinese firms approved for sale in the U.S. before the 2022 order.
